Eagles Trade Confirmed
-
Only one of their 2016 3rds would make this a really bad deal...
I agree, unless they include a young, productive current starter like maybe Fletcher Cox? If we tip the scales, tip 'em OUR way!

I'd cry tears of joy if that happened.
Me too, but forget NEXT year's stuff (a total unknown). If we made the trade as outlined above, we'd be screwed for THIS year. I'd rather we screw them than they screw us.

Screwed by picking six picks lower and having two extra day 2 picks? Eagles aren't contending this year -Giants and Skins are the team to beat in the NFC east, and they sure as hell aren't getting a wild card. That pick is top 20.

Some may remember I proposed going after him last year and with Kelly there, who knows?
But Pederson (sp?) took Cox off the table (say what?) a couple days ago...
The Philadelphia Eagles are not going to trade Fletcher Cox. But don't just take my word for it. (That's) what Eagles executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman had to say in a media session on Monday

For the second time in less than a week, an NFL team has made a bold move to potentially draft a franchise quarterback.
The Philadelphia Eagles acquired the No. 2 overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft in a trade with theCleveland Browns on Wednesday, the Eagles announced. Philadelphia will receive a 2017 fourth-round pick along with the No. 2 pick in exchange for five picks, including this year's and next year's first rounders.
The deal puts Philadelphia in a prime position to select one of the two quarterbacks that every NFL Media draft analyst has projected as the first players set to be taken off the draft board in Chicago on April 28. Cal's Jared Goff and North Dakota State's Carson Wentz are expected to be the first two selections of the draft.
For the Eagles, the move to No. 2 gives executive vice president Howie Roseman and new coach Doug Pederson a promising opportunity to mold the direction of the franchise for years to come. Last year's offseason acquisition of Sam Bradford -- a former No. 1 overall pick -- did little to bolster theEagles' offense in 2015. Until Tuesday, the Eagles were poised go with Bradford and former Kansas City Chiefs backup Chase Daniel as their quarterbacks for 2016.
The Eagles-Browns trade comes six days after the Los Angeles Rams pulled off a blockbuster dealwith the Tennessee Titans to secure the draft's No. 1 overall pick.
Around The NFL will have more on the trade soon.

The Browns and Eagles agreed Wednesday to a trade of first-round picks and other selections in the 2016, 2017 and 2018 drafts.
Cleveland will trade Philadelphia its 2016 first-round selection (No. 2 overall) and a conditional 2017 fourth-round selection for Philadelphia’s 2016 first-round selection (No. 8), third-round selection (No. 77), fourth-round selection (No. 100) along with the Eagles’ 2017 first-round pick and a 2018 second-round pick.
-
So thats:
Eagles: #2 overall, conditional pick in 2017
Browns: #8 overall, 3rd round pick, 4th in 2016; First round pick in 2017; 2nd round pick in 2018
-
First, Third, Fourth, 2017 First, 2017 Second.
We now have picks

#32
#65
#77
#99
#100
#138

We gave up 2,600 points, got back 2,005 points in this draft plus next year's first and second.
All in on RG3
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
Its a nice haul from a trade perspective but if Wentz turns out to be a legit franchise QB it will be another chapter of the Browns ineptitude in the draft.
-
All depends on how the QB that falls to Philly does but on the face of it no complaints with what we received when we've only moved down six spots.
-
Cant say I hate it. There will be someone there we will need at #8. and having 2 1sts next year is going to be awesome.
-
The important piece is that we get a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick for moving 6 spots. I still don't like it though, but gotta give these guys a chance to show up I suppose.
Number 65 and 77 are both interesting bargaining pieces to move into the early 2nd for a QB they might be targeting.
-
Side note - Sam Bradford another option now for Denver and NYJ. Or possibly the 49ers, for the comedy value of reuniting with Chip Kelly.

Wentz is already gone to the Rams.
Eagles just took Goff.
Awesome trade if we weren't that in to Goff.
